Narendra Modi sings a complicated agreement with Japan

Indian Prime Minister pays a visit to Japan, where he is planning to meet with Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe and to sign an agreement, concerning nuclear development in India.

The work on the delivery nuclear reactors, fuel and technology to Japan started a few years ago. However, there is some difficulty in the fact, that Japan can not sign such an agreement with a country that has not ratified the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Despite the fact that New Delhi is ready to give all necessary evidences of  peaceful nature of their research to Tokyo, the signing of the contract can not carry out for about six years.

In addition, talks with China on India joining the Nuclear Suppliers Group also go very slowly because of some territorial disputes.

However, during today's visit, against the backdrop of the panic atmosphere in Japan, connected with the Trump victory in the elections in the US, there is a real possibility that the Indo-Japanese agreement would be signed.
